It would really be just that depending on you on how you would really be having that kind of trust when it comes your funds and this is something that you would really having that kind of doubts when it comes to the security of  your funds. I do agree into those words above that if you cant really be able trust up your family then find up ways on how they would be able to benefit once you do pass away.
You are the ones who would really be finding up the method for you to benefit out to those finances that you have stored up. Its up to you whether on how you would be securing out that kind of safety of your funds.
Also when you do make out some money then it would really be best that you do really know on how to control yourself on not to expose on how much you do earn.
Just like on what everybody saying on here is that its too risky that you do make yourself having that kind of exposure into public that you earn this and that.
Making crypto wealth exposed to the public for no reason will be dangerous for everyone's personal security, this will even result in many people being curious and intending to take it from you. There is no need to expose anything as long as the profits obtained will make you a lucky person. can get out of the bearish market well. Closing everything and carrying on with life as usual is the right choice so that no danger threatens.
If you want to live a safer way, stay low key. Do not publicized what you have gained from your investments or whatsoever that involves huge amount of money because that will only make other people develop envy towards you. Let’s face the reality that not all people are happy with your high earnings, some may even plan  at your back due to greed and jealousy.

As for the Lakers and Golden State Warriors. Wasn't it, it was the same last season that they're on the same seed or bracket?

The current results of the Lakers are really similar to what they had last year, but the Warriors' results are a little different. Last year, the Warriors performed a little better and finished 6th in the standings at the end of the regular season, i.e. they didn't participate in the play-in tournament last year.
p.s.
The Lakers beat the Warriors in the second round of last year's playoffs.

Yes, the Warriors finished at 6 but they are so close with the Lakers as the Warriors were only ahead by 1 win.

Warriors 44-38
Lakers 43-39

That was their record last season, but the Lakers had the better journey as they were able to reach the WCF, unfortunately they got swept by the Nuggets which also won the championship that season. Now, if the Lakers will again face the Nuggets in the first round, we might see the same result.

Updated record 58(W)-57(L)..... 50%

Let's continue betting on this few games remaining in the season.

Warriors -14
They still have a chance to be in the rank 8, so I guess they are gonna take this game seriously. -14 is not hard to cover for a team that are playing their best every game.

Pelicans +1
Because I want the Kings to drop at number 9, that's why I'm backing the Pelicans to win.
Pelicans also need this win to stay at number 6.

NYK -2.5

This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.
84  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When you make mistakes, do not fail to take corrections. on: April 10, 2024, 11:30:33 PM
This is the same thing that most older members on the forum will write because most of us have been there. Most of us made very silly, embarrassing, mistakes during our earlier days on the forum. And some were lucky enough to get a second chance and they turned out to be some of the most top members here.

And as for you, you still have a lot to learn but you have learned one of the most valuable lessons on the forum. As a newbie on this forum , over time you would learn to develop a thick skin because criticism and corrections would come. Some would be harsh and some others would be considerate. However whatever be the case do not take it personal just learn the lesson and move on.
Everyone makes mistakes in the forum, regardless of its position. But it’s certain that majority who did mistakes are the newbies in the forum, simply because they are less knowledgeable and less experienced in the crypto space. Unlike those higher positions, although they still make mistakes but they eventually learn from it. However, for newbies, acceptance is the key. If their goal is to learn and gain, then they should take the process. And in terms of learning, it’s a long term process so one should be more patient and be more open for corrections to acquire learning easily.
85  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin the best asset for investment currently? on: April 10, 2024, 01:30:56 PM
Without going deeper into technical analysis and aspect I would like to say that Bitcoin is an asset which has been increasing continuosly since it's inception and even if the price dips it is recovered so one thing is clear that there would be sureshot profit for long term holders and hence it would be the best asset for investment though it was originally not meant for investment.

If we ignore other aspects and focus only on the profit aspect, OP may be right in saying that bitcoin is the best investment because looking at the development history, no asset has ever shown growth better than bitcoin. And I believe this is the reason the OP and many others always claim that bitcoin is the best investment. They only look at the profit side and ignore other factors and believe that they are right in making that judgment. If we consider many other aspects like legality, popularity, safety...then bitcoin is not the best asset or investment.
I certainly agree with this. Bitcoin is not actually the best investment when it comes to future security and stability. It has high volatility, so most likely we cannot expect certainty on its present or future value. But that volatility nature makes us more thrilled and interested to engage in bitcoin. Even if we know in the future, our anticipated profits may turn into losses due to its high uncertainty.

However, when it comes to profitability, bitcoin has the biggest ROI compared to any short term or long term investments. And that makes it more appealing to the people.
86  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: April 08, 2024, 01:00:24 PM
~
In general, we must always be wary and suspicious of any information that wants to give us a chance to make money. If they really have such insider information, then they will not just spread it around; they are only pursuing their own interests in making money or for other purposes. I never listen to what they say in such topics. I can only afford to read a few articles on popular sports sites to better understand the situation and make the upcoming match a little more interesting for me. And making money from this constantly is a fairy tale story for those who believe in miracles and that money will fall on their heads. It's time for them to finally open their eyes and not engage in this nonsense.

It's better to say most of the information about the prediction is just a wild shot from the influencers with the hope of becoming real and getting know about the insider information of every match isn't possible for God's sake. Making money isn't easy but making money in the short cut needs luck than we usually have to win a game so better focus on the predicting on our own and stick with the basic principle of don't bet more than you can afford to lose.

It's not hard to judge if such influencers are profitable of not. If they could lay their records in the past few days or months to measure their consistency and we see it's profitable, then there's no harm on following the bets. However, if that requires us to register or join the group to get exclusive picks, that's too risky for us as that means we have to pay and still risk the money.

The decision is entirely on us, we are gambling and we want to win, so we will make sure we do everything to win, even if it would need us to subscribe for a tipster channel just to get a winning bets. I'm sure in a certain period of time we are following tips, we would be able to determine if it's worth it or not.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in casinos: Still a thing? on: April 08, 2024, 12:03:47 PM
Its all about the ROI for many investors out there, so I think that OP is better off investing in Bitcoin than this, its just my own opinion, he doesn't have to do it, I just feel more at risks when investing on a casino, maybe because I understand  Bitcoin more than any other thing.
Bitcoin is a high risk investment, it's volatile, if OP is patient enough to hold his bitcoin for a long term, then there's a high probability that he will be profitable. Howeve, there are investors who like to see their investment growing consistently, and it could be achievable in a casino since they are winning most of the time or in a regular basis, problem is, most profitable casinos now does not offer a bankroll investment anymore, so OP are left with no option.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 08, 2024, 08:13:35 AM
There's a big contrast between these two, Haney is very relaxed and confident while Ryan is like a kid who wants people to know how great he is, so obviously we know who will win in this fight.

Well, if we based on their last fight Haney is far greater than Ryan. Still, as we all know, this is a matter of who trains a lot more and gathers new skills from training because if Ryan's strategy works, Haney is in danger because he didn't expect any deceiving strategy from Ryan. After all, he took him as a normal opponent just like anybody else he had fought. Ryan has power and speed and that is his main key he only trains on how to work it out and land some clean punches on Haney. That's why this may be an obvious disadvantage for Ryan, I still wanted to watch it live and see if he can easily beat him despite all of Ryan's efforts to train.

Preparation is indeed vital in this sports. Even if you are a clear winner, but you failed to train hard, you can easily be beaten by the underdog. Though Haney has seemingly advantage over Garcia, he needs to work out on his plans inside the ring. You'll never know what you're gonna get once the fight begins.

With the current odds, Haney is the heavy favourite here. And stake is on the side that this fight won't go the distance as well based on the odds. Garcia for sure knows the pulse of the boxing fans and the betting public, so more then likely, he's on the serious side of preparation here to prove what he's got.






That odds for the fight not going the distance is juicy. I might place a bet later. The experts are expecting another Haney decision. But Haney is capable of stopping Ryan here. The discrepancy in skills are too wide and Haney might deform Ryan's face for a stoppage win. And the only way for Ryan to win is by KO/TKO which I am also hoping to happen if he lands his bombs, so I'm taking that bet later.

The difference in boxing to other sports is that fighters records are continuous. There are no resets like next season, next year which is why there are less upsets compared to the other sports. And a lot of fighters will also try to protect their 0. They will train hard for sure unless someone gets exploited like taking a late notice fight.

Odds does look like Ryan has no chance of winning, I might go for him to win this time. I feel like before Ryan got his 1 defeat, he was another all star boxer, and you can't take that away from him.  I think Haney is just overrated and Ryan got underrated here, so the value is on Ryan. I am not confident of this bet becasue all you are thinking Haney will win, but the odds itself are very tempting which is hard to resist.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: April 08, 2024, 07:31:10 AM
Got it perfect 3-0 on that pick so let's keep this momentum going.

Dallas -6.5 win
Since the Rockets are on a losing streak now, I think it will continue just like when they are on a winning streak, it's the opposite now and probably until the season is over.

Clippers -3.5 loss
There's no hard way in betting, just back the struggling team. And in this case, the Cavaliers is just pretty much out of sync.

Warriors -11.5 loss
Back at home, I expect them to have a strong bounce back game after losing to the Dallas Mavericks.
Jazz are 0-10 on their last 10 games, so this team has not been thinking about winning, it's sure another blowout win for the Warriors.



Updated record 58(W)-57(L)..... 50%

Lots of unexpected outcome happened to these bets, a suppose win end up losing and the opposite, LOL

We'll be resting for one day as there are no games and that will give us time to re evaluate our bets too.

Not bad, although below the winning percentage, at least we are not down so big. We like to achieve 53% as that is the winning rate.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: April 07, 2024, 12:36:37 PM
He is still in his prime, so I think even if he losses here, he can still make more fights and still be as popular. Of course, if he losses here, he will take a tune up fight, just like when he losses to Tank Davis.

And after he won, fans are hype again. Manny losses many fights and still with his charisma, still remain as one of boxing sweepstakes up to his retirement. Ryan though needs to be a belt holder to just continue with his hype an fans still wanting to see him.

Ryan already knows how to stay popular even if he losses, so he will stay and will have more fights. There's no way he will beat Haney, but in case he will, that would make him a top favorites and that champions will dying to fight him due to the big money he could generate in any match up.

Just imagine, this guy already has a possible fight after Haney as he is making noise on Cruz as his possible next opponent, so that's another money coming for him, and Ryan making drama in boxing makes him so popular that fans have invested on his story even though we aren't sure if he is telling the truth or not.

Pacquiao, De La Hoya and the other legends were big PPV stars even when the times they lose because they are championship level fighters. They bounced back and became champions again and again.

Meanwhile Ryan is yet to fight for his title against Haney. I think he made the wrong decision to pick Haney. How will Ryan grabs a belt when his skills are too inferior to the champions holding the belts? If he gets humiliated by Haney, I don't think he will become a PPV star again. Maybe his handlers will try another PPV event in the future again but it will fail until he gets a real belt. The underserving Romero was his biggest chance of grabbing a belt but sadly the politics stopped it from happening. But hopefully, Ryan can land his big bombs on Haney to pull an upset. Cheesy

He took the opportunity to fight the best, so I would say that he is a great boxer who are not afraid of taking a higher risk. If he would not fight Haney, eventually they will still meet in the ring, and maybe he doesn't want to hear criticism from the fans that he is cherry picking fight, it's not his style anymore as there's nothing to be afraid anymore since he is not an undefeated fighter. I guess he still believe that he has a high value, so regardless of the outcome, he is confident that he'll have a big fight waiting for him, and that is another championship fight.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 07, 2024, 11:43:52 AM
The Lakers won big at home with a 19 point lead over the visiting Cavs. The Pelicans are performing bad lately, they keep losing. I expect the Pelicans to lose again tomorrow against the Suns who will surely avoid dropping in the 7th slot. The Lakers should overtake the Pelicans in the rankings tomorrow.
The loss of Ingram was really huge, they started their struggle when Ingram was injured, and unfortunately there's no time table yet as to when he will return which is bad as they might fall and will have to be in the play-in.

Here's the latest update about Ingram, still negative.

Brandon Ingram still has no timetable for return


I smell something in the east. The Bucks are losing straight, are they avoiding the 7th or 8th slot which could be Philly and Miami? And so the Cavs are also losing to avoid surpassing the Bucks in the second place. But it makes sense though, it is harder to beat Philly because Embiid is back while the Miami is always dangerous during the playoffs.
Both teams are probably doing the same, we have no idea but seeing the Cavs and the Bucks having a losing streak, that's quite strange.
If they are afraid to face Miami or Sixers, they will still have to play them once they pass the first round.

So what they are trying to do is just to avoid an early exit? They don't believe they are a championship team?
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: April 07, 2024, 08:38:40 AM
another 1 of 3 day,... Bucks decided not to win, while Boston collapse in the 4th, they just did enough to win but not to cover.


But no stopping here, let's continue the play and see if we will be profitable tomorrow.

Lakers -5 win
I'll just continue to back the team that is winning, Lakers need this win and I just hope they'll cover this spread.
Cavs are good but Mitchell struggles continue.
 
Denver -12 win
They'll bounce back strong from their loss to LA, they didn't want what happen so they'll take this one like a blowout win.
No more complaining here from coach Malone (hopefully) so they'll cover the spread easily.

Sixer -12.5 win
Memphis as been a spread killer but I like the Sixers here to continue to play hard as they need to improve their ranking to be at the top 6.

Updated record 57(W)-55(L)..... 51%

Got it perfect 3-0 on that pick so let's keep this momentum going.

Dallas -6.5
Since the Rockets are on a losing streak now, I think it will continue just like when they are on a winning streak, it's the opposite now and probably until the season is over.

Clippers -3.5

93  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: April 06, 2024, 09:47:10 PM
Many people hesitate to take risks for fear of failing and not being able to come back again, so when people do not dare to take risks, there will be no change in the business they run.

All we know is that taking risks for a benefit must be done so that you can get out of the usual zone to a new one and even this increases your chances of making a profit from it you can become rich because taking risks is of course behind it all there is a calculation because if you take risks without any basis that you know is the same as failing.

The same thing when you invest in bitcoin then there is a high risk: market fluctuation, volatility, but from all that we know more benefits of taking profits after you take the risk of investing in bitcoin.
I would rather say take calculated risks instead, that way you will gain higher chances of success. Because  if you only mean just by taking risk, positive changes will come right after, the truth is it doesn’t work like that. A lot of people take risk and end up in failure. That’s because they were never prepared enough for that risk and they never take calculated risk. Instead, they just rush into taking risk, not realizing that taking risks unprepared at some point may always end up with its negative consequences.
94  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I really hold onto my bitcoins in the future? on: April 06, 2024, 08:34:04 PM
You can hold bitcoin for future but one thing to remember is that you can never deal with emergency with bitcoin. Bitcoin long term investment gives good profit to wait for it. Invest according to your financial capacity Don't rely entirely on investments have other sources of income to meet emergencies. It will be easier to protect the funds if you have to invest a fair amount of your income source.
You can hold some of your bitcoin and sell some of them while you are still in search of a decent job, that way, you can be able to help your family since they are struggling economically. Hodling may provide significant profits in the future but know that you can’t completely rely on it for your source of income or for daily survival. Once you hold, that means you won’t touch your bitcoin investment, so invest only on your spare money, not totally your hard-earned funds, otherwise you will struggle more in your finances while waiting for bitcoin price to reach its all time high.
95  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way? on: April 06, 2024, 07:55:01 PM
Don’t ever give any financial advice to anyone. If the advice turned into profitable, then they will praise you, but by chance , if it ends in loss, then they will be the one who will blame you. Hence you can give suggestions, but don’t financially advise them. It’s their own money, hence they should be responsible for where to invest or where to not. As a second person you should always avoid these types of situations.
Any type of investment seems unpredictable, so one is not supposed to give finance advise as if you are giving him full guarantee that bitcoin will surely grow his money, when we all know that bitcoin investment can make you rich and prosper but it can also ruin your finances and turn you homeless when you least expect it. You may give your own point of view, but you can never make financial decision for others. Let them do their own research where to invest.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: April 06, 2024, 02:04:57 PM
To be honest, we can't put a tag on everyone saying them premature gamblers just because they are blaming the casinos.
I think the feeling comes natural because of the frustration of losing the bet.
If gamblers are continuously blaming the casino site for their losses only then they can be classified as amateur gamblers.

Very amateur indeed. When we are in that stage that we blame casinos on our losses, that only showed we don't understand what we are doing, we are not being realistic and doesn't understand that losing and winning is part of gambling, and on most of us losses are more experience that winning, but it's normal.

We can't accept our losses, and that will result us to do some crazy things like doing a bet that we don't usually do. Of course, going all in is not a regular strategy, we  only do that if we are desperate and we know it's not good based on our experience.
97  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: April 06, 2024, 01:02:29 PM
Boston -10
I feel like Sacramento aren't play well recently, while the Boston Celtics continues to dominate at home, so I'm expect another blowout win for the home team against a team who played back to back game.

Heat -2.5
Rockets are done, they are on a losing streak and might have a feeling already of giving up as their chance to be in the play-in is close to impossible.

Bucks -16.5
I think Bucks are not gonna miss this time, they are on a 2 losing skid, Giannis is agree, he'll lead the team to dominate the Raptors.

another 1 of 3 day,... Bucks decided not to win, while Boston collapse in the 4th, they just did enough to win but not to cover.

I invest in both Bitcoin and gold. I believe it's not wise to put all the eggs in one basket.
You're right and that's good that you've diversified both in good assets. I've seen just today that gold is pumping as well but if we're going to compare its gain to Bitcoin, we know that it's incomparable.

And with the existence that gold has, Bitcoin is still far from it. So both of them have their goodness to each other.

If you're the type of investor that can do both, you're privileged to do it.
Bitcoin and gold are actually both attractive investments. You can be highly profitable with bitcoin, as much as with gold, as long as you have good amount of earnings in your portfolio that you can hold and only sell them when your target selling price has been achieved. So diversifying in both assets creates bigger opportunities to earn, than to put all your eggs in a single basket where you are only increasing the risk to lose.
99  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Should newbies invest with small capital in BTC on: April 05, 2024, 04:43:26 PM
Quote from: cryptoaddictchie
For newbies who have funds and willing to risk they can alot more funds provided that they knew already how the bitcoin works or yet to say they understand the volatility surrounding it. Not so many newbies learn the basics of it and just buy due to financial advice that it will eventually grow. They must be equipped with knowledge how the market works so to take advantage of the market.
They can buy as much they want if they have the knowledge of BTC because, is not by the money you save in your bank to invest in BTC but the most important thing is the knowledge of BTC and once you have the knowledge to control your investment, I guess you will achieve a good reward from your investment.

One of the advantage that will guarantee that a newbies will going to make it in the future is, when the newbies buy BTC when the price is low and hodl till when the price will reach higher in the market and, such newbies will surely achieve a good profits in the future.

Newbies have less knowledge and experience when it comes to bitcoin investment, so whatever crypto influencers say, they tend to believe easily, and probably that's the biggest mistake following other people's advices without taking time to verify it. It's like when those influencers say to invest a huge amount in order to gain massive profits as well, well it's partly true but it does not totally works like that with bitcoin. Even if you have the huge capital, but you don't have a clear strategy on how to make your investment works and gain profits, you will still lose in the end. That's why investing in bitcoin is open for everyone, but in reality, not all are capable to invest in bitcoin, the reason why majority are still losing and few only succeeded in the long run.
100  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Quick way to learn bitcoin trading on: April 05, 2024, 04:10:15 PM
Never look for a short cut way to trade or make a profit from trading because a short cut way will never be good for your trading and profit from trading. The steps to success are difficult and those difficult steps need to be overcome with a lot of hard work. When you go from a single-story building to a two-story building, you have to climb the stairs in stages, but you cannot go from the bottom step to the top step. 

Those of us who are looking for short cuts must give utmost importance to how to trade properly and how to gain proper understanding of trading without looking for short cuts. If we are looking for short cut way then we will not know many common things which will cause us lot of loss after trading.
People are always looking for the simple route, which is why you will hear them tell you about crypto groups where you can receive signals. If you are not capable of handling things on your own, there is no reason to enter the trading world before you are prepared for the challenges. Accepting responsibility for your investment is preferable to searching for a quick fix.

We are aware that trading is difficult, but we are forced to do it in order to profit. Also, it involves more clever work. These are only necessary steps that need to be completed. Prepare yourself and effectively manage your time. And you even see people paying money for groups just to receive signals and majority of those groups are scams. And that is why they say seek knowledge then you can decide if you want to continue or not.
There is no shortcuts to success. If you aim for it, then you must put high diligence and patience to make it work, and trading is not an exception. Although there might be easy offers for quick trading learning, but know that experience is always the best way to learn. Trading is not all about reading and researching and then you acquire learning after that, because the true learning in trading is when you get to trade on your live account, regardless if it's a win or loss, learning still takes place.

In trading, both should be developed, your knowledge and skills, and even your attitudes towards trading. This is why it requires a lot of time to learn and develop them, and not just looking for an easy route and boom, you become a profitable trader instantly.
